Everyone was quickly disappearing, including Jade. Since no one seemed to be looking for me at the moment, I decide to find a bar by myself.
It was so weird, looking at all those closed cabin doors. Strangest cruise I'd ever been on. Then again, I'd never been on one, so what the hell did I know?
I just knew that there had to be a bar on the ship somewhere. Okay, not ship...BOAT. At any rate, every boat had a bar. And my buttocks were starting to throb again. I needed a painkiller fast. I knew I was acting like a weanie compared to some of the other girls, but I wasn't exactly....used to pain...though it sounded intriguing. And besides, none of them had gotten a ten foot hypodermic needle shoved ....well, at any rate, I figured I deserved at LEAST one margarita for that indignity.
Where the heck WAS everybody? Who was sailing .... uh...I mean, driving the ship?
Then a shadow fell over me and I started to feel just the teeniest bit guilty for wandering around on my own.
'Damn' I groused to myself. 'Why is it that when I'm breaking the rules I don't realize it IS a rule until I get caught?' I started to sputter, and couldn't think of anything but the truth. "I'm just looking for the ..."
His grip was firm, guiding me in the direction of the cabins.
"But I...."
He gently shoved me into a room and closed the door behind me. I stood there for a moment, the rebellion and sudden flash of nameless anger flaring up inside of me. I wrapped my arms around my waist and took a deep breath. There was nothing I could do to change anything, ever. Best to accept it as I had learned to accept my old life. At least here I had love, caring, acceptance and Lord C's admiration for my cleverness. That was something, at least.
I heard the lock turn and groped for a light switch. Blinking in the sudden brightness, I turned and saw it.
"Begorrah! The man is a saint!" I sang happily to myself as I ripped off my clothes and sat my sore bottom down inside of the steaming tub of hot water. I stayed there, my eyes closed and my lips pursed in bliss, for a very long time.
